The Worst Song Ever

[mackro]

I don't know if this is the worst or best R&B song ever?

"She's Mad"

Note: no matter how good or awful you think this is, at least skip to 2:00 and just let it ride. There's a payoff. Trust me.

Neither do I, but it had me laughing in the first ten seconds.

I) You do know the meaning of payoff, don't you Mack?
II) Payoff's a funny word, isn't it?

Would I just be flattering myself if I said I composed the worst song ever?

Hank Williams III - Dick In Dixie

LYRICS::
Well some say I'm not country
and that's just fine with me
'Cause I don't wanna be country
with some faggot looking over at me
They say that I'm ill-mannered
that I'm gonna self-destruct
But if you know what I'm thinkin'
you'll know that pop country really sucks

So I'm here to put the "dick" in Dixie
and the "cunt" back in country
'Cause the kind of country I hear now days
is a bunch of fuckin' shit to me
They say that I'm ill-mannered
that I'm gonna self-destruct
But if you know what I'm thinkin'
you'll know that pop country really sucks

Well we're losing all the outlaws
that had to stand their ground
and they're being replaced by these kids
from a manufactured town
And they don't have no idea
about sorrow and woe
'Cause they're all just too damn busy
kissin' ass on Music Row

So I'm here to put the "dick" in Dixie
and the "cunt" back in country
'Cause the kind of country I hear nowdays
is a bunch of fuckin' shit to me
And they say that I'm ill-mannered
that I'm gonna self-destruct
But if you know what I'm thinkin'
you'll know that pop country really sucks

And if you know what I'm thinkin'
you'll know that pop country really sucks

Here's how I deal with pop country:

I've figured out there are only two types of country song in pop country now: Tough Country Guy/Gal or Sad Country Guy/Gal.  I try to figure out which one it is and how the singer's delivery of Tough Guy or Sad Guy compares to other awful renditions I've heard.  It helps get me through on those rare occasions I have to hear it.

I've probably heard 150 pop country songs since I came up with that theory and have yet to find a single one that didn't fit into one of those two categories.

Unfortunately for Hank Williams III, his song is a perfectly seamless example of Tough Country Guy.

[Steve of Bloomington]

Wasn't Hank III in Danzig for a while? Or am I thinking of somebody else.

I don't think he was ever part of the band.  But don't let that get you down:

Danzig has said he wishes to avoid extensive and exhaustive touring in the future, preferring instead to focus on his various music, film and comic book projects: “I don’t really want to tour. My reason for not doing it is because I’m bored of it. I like being onstage, but I don’t like sitting around all day doing nothing. I could be home, working.” Danzig has started work on a third Black Aria album and intends to record an album of cover songs from a range of styles including garage rock, early 70s metal and punk rock. Danzig also hopes to record a dark blues album involving Jerry Cantrell and Hank III.

Read Jon Wurster's interview with Danzig in the (Durham) Independent from a few years ago - it's amazing on all counts.
